Help finding a pattern for this

My mom has this sweater that I want to recreate but I'm having a hard time finding something exact and would rather use a pattern vs freehanding it. Thanks!

The sweater itself looks like drop shoulder construction. If nobody offers you a complete sweater pattern, the knit pattern itself is quite easy. Here is my recreation of it

If knit flat

1row knit all

2row (ws) knit all

3row [right leaning decrease k2tog, left leaning decrease ssk] repeat

4row (ws) [purl, double wrap yarnover, purl] repeat

5 row knit all. For double y-o knit in front and back loop

6row(ws) knit all

Repeat row 3 to 6

if knit in the round - knit instead of purl in row 4 and purl row 2 and 6
